My Free iPhone / iPod Touch

iPodNN is reporting (iPhone denial-of-service bug surfaces) that an iPhone Denial-of-Service Bug has been uncovered. According to SecurityFocus, this issue exists in both the 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 firmware. There is no mention on whether this affects the iPod Touch.

Some may see this issue as a blessing. It may mean that a site like JailBreakMe can work on the 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 firmware.

Apple will most likely fix this issue in their next firmware update. We can only wait to see.

Another nice change in the 1.1.3 firmware update is that the Gmail portion of the Mail.app on the iPhone and iPod Touch now use IMAP (rather than POP) by default. Google posted (Important changes to email deletion on the iPhone mail client) this to their blog shortly after the MacWorld Keynote speech:

There’s a new software update for the iPhone. The next time you sync your iPhone with iTunes, your iPhone will be updated to version 1.1.3 of Apple’s software. It has a nice new feature — the built-in Mail app on the iPhone will now use IMAP to access your Gmail account, rather than POP, like it used to. IMAP is way better — it keeps your mail in sync wherever you read it. If you read a message on your iPhone, it will be marked as read in your Gmail account. If you move a message to a folder on your iPhone, it will be moved to that label in Gmail. If you delete a message on your iPhone, it will be moved to the Trash in Gmail and permanently deleted in 30 days. This is different than what used to happen! Before, deleting a message on the iPhone had no effect on your Gmail account. But now, delete actually deletes!

This is great. IMAP is certainly a better way to manage your mail. I am very happy that they (Apple or Google - whoever actually made the change) changed from POP to IMAP.

Steve Jobs’ MacWorld Keynote speech was yesterday. There wasn’t a lot of iPhone/iPod Touch news. No new versions of either gadget. Apple did release a new version of the iPhone/iPod Touch firmware (version 1.1.3).

This new version brings the ability to move around the home buttons, and a new enhanced maps feature. Apple also released a video to show off the new features. Check it out here: January ’08: Enhanced Maps and more.

This update also allows iPod Touch users to add some of the applications that are on the iPhone to the iPod Touch. You can add Mail, Maps, Web Clips, Customizable Home Screen, Stocks, Notes, and Weather to the iPod Touch. This functionality will come at a cost though. In order to get this, you’ll need to spend $20. All new iPod Touches will come with this functionality for free, but existing owners will have to pay for this. This is a little disappointing.

Other than that, there wasn’t much iPhone or iPod Touch news during the MacWorld keynote.

Is there a major update coming to an iPhone near you?

According to MacNN, there is. They are suggesting that the update will be available as early as Saturday and will include some very heavily requested user features. Some of these features may include disk mode (to store items on your iPhone, like you can on an iPod) and a voice recorder (to take memos or record lectures). This update (like previous updates) will probably break any jailbreaking attempts (for a time).

There is no word on whether this update will be given to the iPod Touch. This is still an unconfirmed development. But you should stay tuned to see what happens.

Yesterday Apple released firmware v1.1.2 for iPhone and iPod Touch. Really this time. According to many sites this release was supposed to come out last Friday. Updating to the latest update will undo any jailbreaking that you have done to your iPhone and iPod.

There are reports that this latest firmware has already been hacked. But, I haven’t tried this yet.

This update is available through iTunes. Enjoy your update.
